Going to the Big Tournamen

1t has been definitely settled that the
Alert Hose company of this city will send
a team to represent Cheyenne at the Ne
braska state firemen's tournament at
Kearney next month. The boys will pay
a $50 entrance fee to contest in the $500
free-for-all, and will make a good showing
if they fail to win the prize. The Alerts
have become famous throughout the West
as a fast team and received a special in
v~itation to meet the Nebraska flyers.
John Chase, L. B. jerks and J. W. Nc
Cartin have been selected as a committee
to solicit subscriptions to pay the expenses
of the team to Kearney, and will undoubt-
eddy collect enough money for that pur-
pose in a short time, as the company is a
great favorite about town, and nothing
advertises a city more than a crack fire
company. In the event OF the company
winning the $500 prize, donations to the
expense fund will be returned.

AT THE DEAD SEA,
How a Cheyenne Man Took a Boa, Ride
at That Resort.

Shortly after Mr.. D. D. Dare returned
from his recent trip to the Holy Land he
told several friends in strict confidence the
particulars of a little incident that oc-
CURED while he was viewing the Dead sea.
Now that the Cheyenne traveller is in Da-
kota the reporter will give the story the
publicity it deserves.
When Mr.. Dare reached the famous
inland sea he cautiously approached a
boatman who was standing on the shore,
and began to read Arabic to him out of a
50 guide book he had purchased In Jeru-
salem. The ancient mariner stood. lis.
tened a moment, and then said, in a tone
of disgust: What's s'matter with you?
Why don't you talk United States?r
The Cheyenne man concealed his cha
grin and establishment, and said: 80 this
is the Dead sea, the place where our Savior
walked IN the water. l. suppose you
know the locality where he walked2"
That's what L do, doctor, and III
take you out there in my boat, if you
say So"
How much will you charge to take me
to the exact spot2"
well, you look like a pretty decent
sort of a fellow: I won't charge you any
thing"
Dir. Dare was greatly surprised to en-
counter such liberality so far from Wyo-
ming, but stepped into the boat aud was
rowed about a mile from the shore. After
gazing around for a few minutes, and see
ing nothing remarkable about the place,
he expressed a desire to return.
Charge you twenty dollars to 20
back" said the e~nterprising follower of
the Savior's footsteps.
But | thought you said the trip would
cost me nothing" demonstrated the pio-
neer.
Nav. Nothing to come out; twenty
dollars to get back"
Mr.. Dare handed the money making
navigator a gold piece. but remarked in
deep tones of disgust as he did go: "No
wonder that Jesus got out and hoofed it."

TAKEN TO THE COUNTY JAIL"
How the Big Batch-of Prisoners Put in
Their Time.

T~wenty-eight prisoners are confined in
the county jail at present, and were
viewed by q representative of The LEAD
Err yesterday afternoon. Chas. Tumble,
awaiting sentence for the killing of Miley
at Lusk, greeted the reporter pleasantly
and said hat but for a healthy attack of
facial neuralgia he would feel quite com
Portable.
VIM. Mccoy, indicted for the murder
OF Chas. Gum, was sitting in front of his
cell and had nothing to say, while Wat
son charged with being an accessory to
the crime, had his face covered with
"lather' and was doing the barber act.
Ray, the boy who allowed his tondness
Tor sealskin to permit him to appropriate
a fine cloak of that material unknown to
the owner, appeared to be satisfied, but
said he would prefer to be employed at
some light work to occupy his time. -Four
colored prisoners had a couple of the ivory
cubes denominated by them dice" and
were engaged in the mysterious game
called shooting craps"
Two females were confined in a rather
pleasant room on the west side of the Jail.

tanned to testify in the Leroy case, occu
pies her time with ~needlework, whilt
Mrs. Jennie Berry, accused of being al
accessory to the murder of the missing
man Rice, alternately studies a prayer
book and reads a novel The jail is fllet
to its utmost capacity, every cell being oc.
cupied, while several pr isoners lodge il

Three patents for homestead entries
were received by Register Wilson yester-
day. They are for Frederick Luplon,
Chas. FL. Hutton and Emanuel Dauson.
1t is now the general impression among
the gentlemen familiar with such matters
that these patents will continue to arrive
daily now that Wyoming has been reached,
which in all probability is the case, as large
numbers of patents have been received at
Nebraska, Dakota. Montana and other
Western land Offices. As the general
business of the land office was four years
in arrears when taken taken charge of ty
the present administration, the people are
to be congratulated that work has been
prosecuted so assiduously and vigorously.
As soon as The patents arrive the parties
for whom they are intended will be noti-
fed Immediately, and inquiry at the land
Office here for expected documents will be
unnecessary.

A Possible LIne 10 Laramie.

Hon. j. H. Crawford, who represented
Grand and Routt counties In the legisla-
ture and who is now in the city, is author
ity for the statement that the Union
Pacific proposes to run a line from Lara
mie City to Dillon, crossing the upper end
of North Park, passing through the gold
deposits of the Hahn's Peak country and
down Elk river to the junction of that
stream with Bear river, thus tapping the
coal fields on that stream. From this
point the road will extend up the Bear to
Morrison creek, tapping an abundance of
timber. and going Mp this stream will
cross the range at Middle park. thence
down the Muddy to intersect the system
on the Blue river. There are now four or
five surveying parties running lines over
this route. Steamboat Springs will thus
be reached.

FULTON FULMlNATES.
A Brooklyn Divine Essays the Role
of an Evangelist.
His Mission is to Bring Catholics
Into the Fold.
A Large Audience Listened to His
Discourse Last Night.

Rev. DR.. Fulton, of Brooklyn, delivered
an interesting and somewhat contradictory
address to a large audience last evening
in the First Baptist church, beginning at
s o'clock. The Reys Williams and Field
made a few remarks after the Brooklyn
divine had finished. Mr.. Fulton has
given up a p4storate in Brooklyn for the
purpose of making addresses in favor
OF evangelizing the Catholics to Protestant
ism. He said among other things that he
had met with much success personally in
this work among the Catholics of Brook
Ign and elsewhere. As a rule he is cor
dial and good natured in his remarks,
but at times becomes excited and charges
that Romanism has been, and is the
mother of vice, Ignorance and crime, and
while he talks very nicely. and can tell
good stories, fails to prove his miscellan-
eous indictments against priestcraft in
particular and the Catholic church in
general The following are the main
points made by the speaker, who, aside
from a slight nasal twang, possesses a
pleasing delivery:

The progress OF temperance principles
among the young Irish-Americans Of the

against the boys the girls have played the
part Of true temperance miasionsris, in
that they succeeded in driving the young
men into the societiea.
An illustration Of this was seen in the
town Of Beaver Meadow last spring, when
all the girls in the place combined and
resolved that they would not accept the
attention OF any young man until he had
frat signed the pledge and Joined the ST,

But this ia not the worst. All his friends

shun tho outcast altogether. The result
Is that man who breaks his pledge be.
comes disguised with himself, and returns
